Each item below shows how the 74 asset managers that disclosed a BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES INC. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES INC.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Percentages above are of 98,404,024 shares outstanding, as reported by BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES INC. on its Form 10-Q dated May 5, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2024-2025 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from BABCOCK & WILCOX ENTERPRISES INC.’s 10-Q dated May 5, 2025. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on November 8, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
